Visual Basic
C#

Visual Basic

' draw text in many fonts
Dim font As New Font("Tahoma", 9)
Dim ifc As New InstalledFontCollection()
For Each ff As FontFamily In ifc.Families
        ' create font
        Dim sample As Font = Nothing
        For Each fs As FontStyle In [Enum].GetValues(GetType(FontStyle))
                If ff.IsStyleAvailable(fs) Then
                        sample = New Font(ff.Name, 9, fs)
                        Exit For
                End If
        Next
        If sample Is Nothing Then
                Continue For
        End If

        ' show font
        C1Word.AddParagraph(ff.Name, font, Color.Black)
        C1Word.AddParagraph("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. 1234567890!", sample, Color.Black)
        sample.Dispose()
Next

// draw text in many fonts
Font font = new Font("Tahoma", 9);
InstalledFontCollection ifc = new InstalledFontCollection();
foreach (FontFamily ff in ifc.Families)
{
        // create font
        Font sample = null;
        foreach (FontStyle fs in Enum.GetValues(typeof(FontStyle)))
        {
                if (ff.IsStyleAvailable(fs))
                {
                        sample = new Font(ff.Name, 9, fs);
                        break;
                }
        }
        if (sample == null) continue;

        // show font
        C1Word.AddParagraph(ff.Name, font, Color.Black);
        C1Word.AddParagraph("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. 1234567890!", sample, Color.Black);
        sample.Dispose();
